For this to work, we would need to make sure that C-v followed by M-v
end up with a window that has the same window-start as the one before
C-v. But this is impossible to ensure with the way we compute
window-start, because the move_it family of functions used for that
can only move forward; therefore moving back is necessarily
implemented differently, and the results differ when variable-size
fonts are present.
IOW, this is a limitation of the current design of the
window-scrolling functions that can only be lifted by redesigning.
